while talking about the upcoming foos greatest hits album:

World needs a break from Foo Fighters, says front man Grohl
http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/11/03/foo.fighters/index.html

Respectable.  The last Foo Fighters album was lackluster.  I'm hoping TCV energizes him, and whenever FF is back, the music is better.
I'll do Grohl one better and say that the Foos need to be put out of their misery forever. I kind of wish this happened after the first album/tour. That way, we would've never had to endure "Everlong," "My Hero" or "Learn to Fly."

Only one listen so far, but it sounds great. 
the new supersilent record is a bit too extreme for me  :'(
not sure if this has been discussed before, but i just listened to a little bit of this thing called the plastic ono band.  yoko, sean, cornelius and yuka honda . . . are you kidding me??!!  i must say, i thought it would be like listening to magpies screaching as their wings were being ripped off their bodies, but it was delightful and damn different awesome.

All excellent and worthy substitutes to John Lennon


As soon as I finish this and other sandwiches, I gotta back to work on "Strawberry Fields Forever 2: Living Is Easy with Eyes Closed (For Me Because I'm Rich)". The world is waiting.
for cheap thrills, i like to balance my thoughts on whether john was a genius, the driving force behind the beatles and a saint for his anti-war, in your fucking face government attitude . . . or whether he was just a egotist asshole who thought all he touched was above everything anybody else could do.  and the way he treated julian really rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm totally with you on John's faults/shortcomings, especially the way he treated Julian and Cynthia
But the guy could write some songs

"Ever Sit Down on a Box Set and Have an Orgasm? Well, Now You Can with Rammstein?s Latest!

This week,  Rammstein  released a new album titled Liebe Ist Für Alle Da ("Love Is There for Everyone"). Who gives a shit about Rammstein, right?? WRONG. Not only did these crazy German pervs recently release a video for first single "Pussy" on adult website Visit-x  ? which appropriately features a chick rubbing her poon, another sucking off some dude?s throbbing gristle, and a high-arc cum shot that ker-splats on a to-be-lusted-over blonde?s ass ? they?ve also released a box set version of the album that rivals The Smashing Pumpkins? Aeroplane Flies High as the best box set ever!
